Constructor Summary

DeviceState()

DeviceState(boolean value, int confidence)

DeviceState(int value, int confidence)

DeviceState(Object value, int confidence)

Method Summary

long	age() returns the number of miliseconds since the last time the state was modified
boolean	equals(Object o) Does equal only on the value object -- perhaps this is not correct but you will be able to treat this almost as if you were dealing with the value itself when you are dealing with this proxy object
long	getModifyTime() Returns the time when the value was last modified.
String	getName()
void	reset() Resets the state to some default value
protected void	resetModifyTime()
void	setName(String v) Set the name of this state description
String	toString()
protected void	valueModified() This method is in here in case any of the children of this class ever tried to be a bean or something and needed to perform some action when value gets modified.

Method Detail

getModifyTime

public long getModifyTime()

Returns the time when the value was last modified.

Returns:

a long value

age

public long age()

returns the number of miliseconds since the last time the state was modified

getName

public String getName()

setName

public void setName(String v)

Set the name of this state description

reset

public void reset()

Resets the state to some default value

valueModified

protected void valueModified()

Description copied from class: Value

This method is in here in case any of the children of this class ever tried to be a bean or something and needed to perform some action when value gets modified. Here this method does nothing.

Overrides:

valueModified in class Value

resetModifyTime

protected void resetModifyTime()

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Description copied from class: Value

Does equal only on the value object -- perhaps this is not correct but you will be able to treat this almost as if you were dealing with the value itself when you are dealing with this proxy object

Overrides:

equals in class Value

Following copied from class: util.Value

Parameters:

o - an Object value

Returns:

a boolean value

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class UncertainValue
